Orchards -- A bit of youthful energy was brought to Total Merchant Concepts on Take Your Child to Work Day on April 25. For six years, the Vancouver business has participated in the special annual event. This year a group of employees' children spent half the workday learning about the company's daily operations while also having some fun. The kids were allowed to play "terminal toss," where they safely destroyed broken equipment.
